Learning Outcomes

General competencies

The goals of this course are:
To describe the different methods to study cells and tissues.
To describe the non-differentiated eukaryotic cell (organisations, structures, cell components, functions).
To describe differentiated cells and tissues.

The student should be able to describe the different cell structures and components.
The student should be able to recognise different types of tissue, to explain the function(s) of the tissue under investigation.
The student should be able to integrate the different sub functions in order to explain cell functioning or functioning of a particular tissue.


This course contributes to the following Educational Learning Outcomes (ELO) (LOBW):
  • Provider of advice:
    • The student provides a customer* and his surroundings with advice (1)
  • Developer:
    • The student implements new knowledge (1)
    • The student works in a problem solving way (2)
    • The student subscribes life-long learning (2)
  • Coach:
    • The student works individually (2)
  • Manager:
    • The student makes a plan (1)
    • The student implements and executes a plan (1)
    • The student organizes efficiently and develops procedures (1)
  • Promotor:
    • The student promotes a healthy lifestyle (1)
  • Scientist:
    • The student evaluates the scientific literature (1)
  • Knows the relevant concepts from the basic sciences (biomedical and human sciences) to understand their application in the area of physical education and movement sciences (scientist)

This course contributes to the following Educational Learning Outcomes (ELO) for Physiotherapy:

  • The student completing a bachelor’s degree knows the scientific key concepts and theories within the field of rehabilitation sciences and physiotherapy as well as the models and hypotheses underlying the impact of physiotherapeutic care on the health condition of the client. (Clinician, Innovator/scientific researcher)

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 70% of the final mark.
Practical Exam determines 30% of the final mark.

Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Meerkeuze: theorie with a relative weight of 10 which comprises 70% of the final mark.

    Note: Meerkeuzevragen en tekenen van coupes

Within the Practical Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Herkennen en tekenen with a relative weight of 10 which comprises 30% of the final mark.

    Note: Meerkeuzevragen

Additional info regarding evaluation

In case there are failing grades on certain components (a grade lower than 8), the weighted average will be waived and the lowest grade will be used as the final grade. If the student scores at least 10/20 for a component (WPO or HOC), but fails the course, this grade will be automatically carried over to second sitting or to the next year.  

HOC: written exam (multiple choice questions).

WPO: consists of recognizing organelles, cells and tissues. The sections to be analyzed are presented on screen and questioned via multiple-choice questions . Also, students should be able to draw different organelles, cells and tissues.

Point distribution:
HOC (FMD) = 14 out of 20 points;
WPO (FMD + open-ended questions) = 6 out of 20 points.

The Multiple Choice items will be graded by positive scoring with Higher Cesura. There 
therefore no points will be deducted for a wrong answer. Getting points by gambling 
will be reflected in the final score by increasing the pass mark (= caesura). 
The grade for the exam and the exact conversion table will be communicated in a timely manner on Canvas and in the exam instructions.

 

Allowed unsatisfactory mark
The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
